They ended up plastering the deep suction port back to the housing. Then plastered in the suction cover ring on the face of the wall. With the cover on now you can't tell there is a deep suction port. The PB did not recommend trying to plumb out to the wall edge, but had more faith in sealing...

Well I have used the Polaris 9300 for six days now and I can't say any bad comments. Of course this is my first robot, but it does a great job, filter is easy to clean and it hasn't hung up on anything. It has yet to get on top of the 6" deep sun shelf, but I suspect it won't because the water...

Well we are now finished with the pool. I'll get some more photos of the shear descent with jumping platform & gushers another day and post. The Wet Edge Northshore Carribbean came out great. :wave: We have been enjoying ever evening such that I haven't really been able to post many photos...

thanks guys, i appreciate the info. :goodjob:

They did a 360 perimeter ground (bare #6 copper) tied to the deck rebar and carried it back to the equipent pad. Attached it to each piece of equipment and then terminated it on my end pump motor. Shouldn't it leave the end pump and then go into the control box to the ground bus? The pump has...

Mark, you are correct. They all have venturi's, which are plumbed into the main plumbing of the spa. I think the difference in options are a blower that forces air to the venturi under positive pressure, or a small suction port that includes an adjustable knob that is normally installed on top...

There are pros and cons to both. With the venturi knobs you get spa controls for air without taking up an extra relay in your control box. With a blower you will have to use one of the relays in the control box and turn it on or off with your remote. (assuming your putting in a decent control...

It could also be one of the isolation valves on the suction side of the pump leaking by. It might be worth opening and closing these valves a few times in case a piece of dirt got in the seats. make sure they are closed off tight as the suction end of your lines are open ended. Assuming the...

Coping, Tile & Stone are now complete. I think it turned out awesome and they did a really good job. Ended up going with the colored antique white grout for the coping. Looks so much better than the gray. Deck should start tommorrow. :lol: What do you think? (Still concerned about the...

(Thanks for the compliment Green!!) Coping has started to be installed, chisled ivory travertine/marble. The sample at the store did not have all the small pits/holes in the stone like alot of these do. It is okay as we like the look, (my wife is really pleased with the look!! which is what...

Well I went ahead and ordered the Polaris 9300 for $895 with $100 Visa rebate. PB said Tigershark hangs on drains and another person said the Tigershark has hung on his wall pool returns before and tore the track off. We will see how she performs, obviously when the pool construction is...

Okay, time for an update. So the pool was pumped out and all the bottom rebar & the wall where the mud caved in was removed. Bobcat came back in and re-dug, then new rebar. Day before gunite small rain came again and washed a little more mud onto the bottom corner wall (my trouble wall)...

My overflow will be piped into the same line that the deck drains tie into, which goes out into the yard to a pop up (french?) drain. I also installed a ball valve on the pool overflow for the very same reasons as I don't necessarily want it open all the time, but when I am away from the house...

Re: Imagine this.....down to the last minute on plaster. Hah The Antigua and Mediterranean are the same color according to Wet Edge. The Antigua is the Satin Matrix and the mediterranean is the Pearl Matrix, but the colors are basically identical.

Well, we haven't had rain here in about 3 weeks. Two days away from gunite and the sky falls out. My wonderful rebar job is now a huge mess!! :grrrr: I guess now I get to see how well the PB stands behind his contract. One of the sidewalls where the swimout was located collapsed pulling in the...

I'm torn between these two and need help deciding. I have two friends who have the tigershark and are happy with them. However the Polaris appears to be abit more attractive in functionality and it comes with a cart. The Polaris is more expensive, (thus leading me to believe it may possibly...

Construction has started! :party:

What color and brand pebble did you end up choosing. Wet Edge or Pebble Tec? Color? Great Looking Pool!!!

I wonder if the water chemistry was off in the pool u saw NS Carribbean? i do not think it should have any brown in it whatsoever. normally the brown/yellow pebble/plaster creates green colored water. the ns carribbean has a green tinted plaster. thus green and blue should make turquoise. i...

Good luck finding comparisons. I have requested photos of several of the Wet Edge products and got zero responses. I think Wet Edge just changed their color pallete recently, thus there are not many of the colors installed yet. Your best bet is to email Wet Edge directly and they can send you...

Thanks TFP for all the valuable information. :-D Well we are suppose to close on our financing this week. Hopefully we will be digging before the Holiday weekend. :party: Specs are: 102 ft Perimeter, free form Depth 3.5- 7.5 ft Tanning Ledge w/ 3 gushers Coping: Natural Stone, upgrade from...

I intend to have a screen enclosure installed possibly next year after the pool is built (hopefully next month or so, waiting on bank for closing). Our deck area/screen enclosure will be 36' X 47'. (Also, fyi the quote for the screen is around $22K, which I thought was reasonable given the only...

You mention the screen cover that you added is vinyl. Is this the product that they normally refer to as Tinted Lexan or acrylic plexiglass? I too am researching installing a screen & want a covered section for the rain, but am struggling with finding covering options. By the way, it all...
